So, recently I have been obsessed with both watching The Notebook, and listening to Taylor Swift songs. Clearly, I must be rather happy! With also a potential new love interest, I am doing what all normal girls do - completely over-romanticising. However, I have a date Friday which I am very excited for! So, I decided to do a trial hair and makeup run today for the date.

After cleansing and moisturising, I applied Revlon Photoready Primer, before using my bareMinerals Full Flawless Face Brush to apply my bareMinerals Ready foundation in the shade R150. I then used my bareMinerals Sheer Face Brush to apply bareMinerals Warmth under my cheekbones to contour. I then used the sheer face brush to also apply a pinky blush on my cheeks, which was my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in the shade Wild Rose.

I brushed my eyebrows into shape, and then got to work on my eyes. I used the shade Bliss from the Stila In The Light Palette as a base coat for my eyes, and then applied my Revlon Felt Tip Liner as close to the lash line as possible. I then curled my lashes, and applied two coats of Collection Volumising Mascara.

To complete the look, I applied Mac Ruby Woo to my lips.

For my hair, it's naturally curly anyway so I applied some Aussie Curling Mousse last night before rough drying it before bed. Then when I was doing my hair, I brushed it through, applied some V05 Heat Defence Oil and Frizz Control Serum, before curling it with my Babyliss Curling Wand. I then brushed it through, straightened my fringe (and there's also a bobby pin holding it in place that you can't see), and then applied some smoothing serum to reduce the frizz, and gave it a final spritz of hair spray.

I then dressed myself in my most vintage looking dress, which is actually a Primark dress from about four summers ago, and I wore tan brogues, with round tortoiseshell sunglasses to complete the look. (I was taking my son out for a walk that day so needed some comfortable foot wear, but I will most likely wear my strappy black Kurt Geigers for the date!)

Hope you enjoyed this look (and my return to the world of beauty blogging! I've missed you!)
